I have found that spring is perhaps the most magical time in Spain and Portugal, but I know the busiest season is upon us.

There were cafes, restaurants, ferry pick-up, historic sights and plazas all at our doorstep of our airbnb. In general, we have found this area of Europe very accommodating to kids, as families are out late in restaurants, a norm. Prepare for later dinners, leisurely walks along the river and small side streets with charming shops and cafes. A weekend in Tavira: How to get there If you are taking a flight to Tavira, you will want to fly into Faro, and drive to Tavira, 40 minutes away. Another option is a train or bus, for under 10 euros. Since we were coming from Spain, it was an easy 3 hour drive. A […]
